Pelicans End Nine-Game Losing Streak with Thrilling Win Over Suns

Brandon Ingram and Herb Jones return to lead New Orleans to a narrow 126-124 victory over a depleted Phoenix squad.

Brandon Ingram scored 29 points in his return after missing five games, helping the Pelicans secure their first win since October 29.
Herb Jones, back from an 18-game absence, delivered a crucial block on Devin Booker's potential game-winning shot in the final seconds.
The Suns, playing without Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkic due to injuries, were led by Devin Booker's 28 points and Bradley Beal's 24 points.
The Pelicans had five of their top six rotation players available for the first time in over a month, boosting their competitiveness despite Zion Williamson remaining sidelined.
New Orleans turned the game around with a strong third quarter, hitting seven of nine three-pointers to erase an 11-point deficit.
